Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday October 20TH 2024 – the 401ST week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

PLACE IN THIS WORLD – Michael W. Smith is back with a hit that was huge here on my chart 33 years ago during the Summer Of 1991 – back when I was 24, and I didn’t know God. But it was a mainstream pop smash. It was my # 13 hit of the summer overall. Amy Grant cowrote it with Michael as well as Wayne Kirkpatrick. for King + Country take the lead on the new version of the song that was part of their “Unsung Hero” movie from earlier this year, and Michael W. Smith lends his voice to the redux. It’s straight-in to my chart this week into the Top 5. Could this be a future # 1 smash ?
